The Senate Intelligence Committee’s bipartisan report on Russian interference in the 2016 election is on track for public release next month
, the panel chairman, Sen. Richard Burr, told POLITICO on Thursday.
“It will start right after we come back from the Fourth,” the North Carolina Republican senator said.Burr and his Democratic counterpart, Sen. Mark Warner, have been at work for more than two years on a probe examining the Moscow-led interference campaign in the last presidential election. The committee has reviewed more than 300,000 pages of documents and conducted interviews with more than 200 witnesses, including a recent closed door sit-down with Donald Trump Jr.
Their panel’s final conclusions remain under wraps, though Burr earlier this year told CBS that the committee had not yet found any conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia — a statement that Warner disputed. Burr has also said the committee’s work would go beyond the contours of now-former special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe.
While Mueller is headed to testify July 17 before two House committees, Burr said he had no plans to bring the one-time FBI director in for public or private testimony.
